Things I learned lately 7 Feb

• The Sacramento Public Library started a Library of Things, allowing patrons to check out, among other things, sewing machines and other items that patrons may find useful, but don't need to own long term.
• Although Windows Defender, the built in security software in Windows 10 has the ability to detect most ransomware threats, it relies heavily on a connection to their servers in real time to do that detection. So if you accidentally execute a ransomware infected file with no internet connection, you're basically hosed.
• You can help another person if they're using Win 10 using the built in Quick Assist feature (use search to find it)
• Vermont may become the first US state to allow emojis on license plates.
• There is a bookstore in Upper Tantallon Nova Scotia called Otis & Clementine's Books, Coffee that hosts a bunch of kitties needing to be adopted.
• "go hang a salami" backwards is "im a lasagna hog"
• Although it was never brought to production, the title of the potential Spaceballs sequel was slated to be Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II and then later Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
• Neptune's moon Triton has active geysers that do not spew out hot liquids like Earth's geysers do, but giant jets of icy nitrogen gas and entrained dust in plumes up to 5 miles (8 km) high instead.
• People used to believe that wearing Amethyst protected you from getting drunk.
